Hackers exploiting SharePoint zero-day seen targeting government agencies
The hackers behind the initial wave of attacks exploiting a zero-day in Microsoft SharePoint servers have so far primarily targeted government organizations, according to researchers as well as news reports. Over the weekend U.S. cybersecurity agency CISA published an alert, warning that hackers were exploiting a previously unknown bug — known as a 'zero-day' — in Microsoft's enterprise data management product SharePoint. While it's still early to draw definitive conclusions, it appears that the hackers who first started abusing this flaw were targeting government organizations, according to Silas Cutler, the principal researcher at Censys, a cybersecurity firm that monitors hacking activities on the internet. 'It looks like initial exploitation was against a narrow set of targets,' Cutler told TechCrunch. 'Likely government related.' 'This is a fairly rapidly evolving case. Initial exploitation of this vulnerability was likely fairly limited in terms of targeting, but as more attackers learn to replicate exploitation, we will likely see breaches as a result of this incident,' said Cutler. Do you have more information about these SharePoint attacks? We'd love to hear from you. From a non-work device and network, you can contact Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai securely on Signal at +1 917 257 1382, or via Telegram and Keybase @lorenzofb, or email. Now that the vulnerability is out there, and still not fully patched by Microsoft, it's possible other hackers that are not necessarily working for a government will join in and start abusing it, Cutler said. Cutler added that he and his colleagues are seeing between 9,000 and 10,000 vulnerable SharePoint instances accessible from the internet, but that could change. Eye Security, which first published the existence of the bug, reported seeing a similar number, saying its researchers scanned more than 8,000 SharePoint servers worldwide and found evidence of dozens of compromised servers. Given the limited number of targets and the types of targets at the beginning of the campaign, Cutler explained, it is likely that the hackers were part of a government group, commonly known as an advanced persistent threat. The Washington Post reported on Sunday that the attacks targeted U.S. federal and state agencies, as well as universities and energy companies, among other commercial targets. Microsoft said in a blog post that the vulnerability only affects versions of SharePoint that are installed on local networks, and not the cloud versions, which means that each organization that deploys a SharePoint server needs to apply the patch, or disconnect it from the internet.

‘Ordering a burger here seems weird': Our critic reviews Cutler's flexible new menu
But there's a sense of a confused identity. Partly because the best cooking at the heart of this menu is just so good, and because the room feels so special, ordering a burger here honestly seems weird. (Like, I felt the need to apologise when I did so.) The more snacky small plates aren't quite worthy of the space or of an occasion in which you'd want to eat there – prosciutto with persimmon is a breezy, no-fuss wine bar dish, not something you eat before a steak topped with foie gras. I still think Cutler is, at its heart, a classic fine dining restaurant. The moments of true brilliance are all in the serious cooking, the dishes that require more than just good ingredients and pretty plating, the ones that can only be produced by chefs who aren't just talented but also extremely well-trained in classic European technique. How does Cutler, which was built on a fine dining foundation, remain relevant in a city that's far more interested in casual eating? I don't envy McConnell and the conundrum at the heart of Cutler. It is, at its best, a fantastic restaurant, worthy of icon status. But it has none of the grand drama that makes Gimlet so of-the-moment, and I'm not sure if it will ever settle into a more casual persona. I wouldn't want it to! We have lots of restaurants that fit that bill, many of them thanks to McConnell. I would love to think that Melbourne is diverse enough in its dining needs that a quiet, grown-up, understatedly sexy fine diner would still be essential. I'd love to see Cutler settle into that role – not necessarily to return to a degustation format but to lean into the quiet luxury it does best, to be unabashedly fancy and let go of more casual ambitions. But alas, that may be wishful thinking on my part. The people want burgers.

US expert stresses need for proper preparation against Trump's impromptu trade demands
A US expert stressed the need Wednesday for President Lee Jae Myung to make proper preparation for the possibility that US President Donald Trump could make impromptu demands should the leaders engage in phone talks on US tariffs and other trade issues. Wendy Cutler, vice president of the Asia Society Policy Institute and former negotiator of the South Korea-US free trade agreement, made the remarks, warning that absent sufficient preparation, Seoul could wind up with a deal that is counterproductive to its interests. Her remarks came as Seoul has been striving to reach a deal with Washington to avoid the Trump administration's proposed 25 percent "reciprocal" tariffs and other duties on steel, aluminum and automobiles, before Aug. 1 when the reciprocal tariffs would take effect if the two sides fail to reach a deal. "If (the leaders) are talking about closing a deal, I can't emphasize how important proper preparation is because if you get on the phone with our president, he may make new demands," she said in a podcast hosted by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies. "If your leader is not fully briefed or willing to push back, then you may end up with a deal that is even more counterproductive to your national interests. So my counsel -- not only for Korea, but for any new foreign government -- (is) just make sure that if there is a leader-to-leader call, proper preparation becomes a priority," she added. Cutler went on to say, "Another risk is ...Let's just say you push back, and then Trump could get off the phone and say, 'Well, you know what? That 20 percent tariff wasn't high enough. It's now 40 percent.'" She, however, underlined the importance of a top-level engagement. "From a relationship point of view, there is nothing more important for Korea right now, for its new president to meet with our president," she said. Noting that the new Korean government might face coordination difficulties given its diverse ministries linked to trade affairs, Cutler said that "the clock is not working in Korea's favor right now." In particular, she assumed that while Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy has undertaken an internal coordinating role for trade negotiations with the US, it faces more challenges than when the foreign ministry took that role decades ago. "Ministries like the agriculture ministry and others ... They are not just going to do what MOTIE wants," she said. "I think Blue House oversight is really needed here as well if this thing is going to be headed in the right direction," she added, referring to South Korea's presidential office. The expert warned that if too many newly appointed Korean ministers come to Washington, it could hinder trade talks. "That runs a risk as well because if you have too many channels and too many cooks, then it just is harder to corral everything together," she said. Cutler did not rule out the possibility that Seoul and Washington reach a broad-brush "framework" deal before the Aug. 1 deadline. "I think it's like a very heavy lift given the clock, but I don't rule it out," she said, pointing to a range of issues involved in the trade talks between Seoul and Washington. (Yonhap)

Cutler, who played 12 seasons in the NFL, sparked outrage after sharing pictures of himself while on a big-game hunting trip to South Africa.

Many followers on social media shared their harsh reactions to the post by Cutler, who has become an avid hunter after retiring from the NFL in 2017. 'I went to Africa on a safari and saw the most incredible wildlife and never once thought about murdering them,' one follower replied 'Wow, Jay. You killed a wild animal in a place it's rarely hunted and it had zero idea you were a threat,' another wrote. 'Suppeeerrrr impressive buddy.'

'Paying big bucks to have someone find you a large beautiful animal that you can shoot at close range is not hunting.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The scathing replies apparently did nothing to deter Cutler, who later posted a video of his first kill. On Monday, he showed off another set of hunting snaps featuring more wild animals he and his fellow hunters had killed. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.
